I love  the model where one day a week, a series of downtown roads is cut off 
from  car/truck traffic while pedestrians and bikers get use to it 
exclusively. Then  they don't have to worry about the issues regarding bike lanes and 
traffic  signals like with the speed differences between motorized and 
non-motorized  travel.

So there's a solution, which requires little financial  dependence that 
causes people to consider non-car travel.

Here's a  great video that illustrates the concept from  Columbia:

And if you  can't or don't watch the video that just read this (from the 
video):
Every  Sunday, from 7am to 2pm, up to 2 million residents of Bogota, Columbia 
enjoy  over 70 miles of car-free  streets.
